MERCURIUS SULPHURICUS

(merc-s)

SULPHATEOFMERCURY. TURPETHMINERAL.

Merc. sulph. will sometimes help, when you have a case of hydro-thorax with quick, short breathing, etc., and burning of the chest. If you go to an old case of hypostatic congestion, with dropsy, or a case of dyspnoea from hydrothorax, when the Merc. base is present, you will be astonished at the action of this sulphate.
